IV. PARTICIPATION
Cash Incentive Awards may be granted to officers and other employees of the Company or its Affiliates selected in the discretion of the Committee for participation in this MIP for a Plan Year. Once a person becomes a Participant under this MIP, the Participant shall remain a Participant until any Cash Incentive Payments payable to such Participant pursuant to this MIP and any Cash Incentive Awards granted hereunder have been paid out or forfeited.
V. AWARDS
5.1. Establishment of Performance Goals or Other Criteria. The Committee shall establish the Performance Goals for the payment under Cash Incentive Awards, if any, that it determines in its sole discretion are necessary or appropriate in such time and manner as the Committee may determine. Performance Goals and other performance criteria, as applicable, will be reflected in the applicable Award Agreements for any Cash Incentive Award hereunder.
5.2. Cash Incentive Award Limitations and Committee Discretion. The Committee will establish the maximum Cash Incentive Payment that can be made pursuant to a Cash Incentive Award. Subject to Section 5.5, after establishing the maximum Cash Incentive Payment that can be made pursuant to a Cash Incentive Award under this Article V for a Plan Year, the Committee may reduce or increase the Cash Incentive Payment payable to a Participant based upon the Committee’s determination of the individual performance of such Participant for such Plan Year and such other factors as the Committee deems appropriate.
5.3. Determination of Achievement of Performance Goals or Other Measures. The Committee shall certify the level of achievement of the Performance Goals or such other performance criteria as soon as practical after the end of the Plan Year for which the determination is being made, including by certifying that the Performance Goals or such other performance criteria were not attained, if applicable.
5.4. Cash Incentive Payments. Unless contrary to applicable law and except as provided in Section 5.5, no Participant shall vest in a Cash Incentive Payment unless he or she is employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the date the Committee certifies the level of achievement under the Performance Goals or other performance criteria under Section 5.3; provided that the Committee (with respect to those Participants for whom the Committee has responsibility to determine compensation) or the Company (for all other Participants) may waive this requirement in its discretion. Except as provided in Section 5.5, no Cash Incentive Payment shall be made to a Participant prior to the certification by the Committee of the level to which the Performance Goals or other performance criteria have been attained. Vested Cash Incentive Payments under this Section will be made within thirty (30) days following such certification, but in no event later than March 15 of the Plan Year in which such certification occurs. If the Committee exercises discretion in Section 5.2 to reduce a Participant’s Cash Incentive Payment to zero dollars, or if the Committee certifies that the Performance Goals or other performance criteria have not been met and does not increase the amount of the Cash Incentive Payment, the Cash Incentive Payment will be deemed paid as of the date such discretion is exercised or certification is made, as applicable.
5.5 Change in Control Provisions.
(a) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and evidenced in an Award Agreement in respect of a Cash Incentive Award, in the event of a Change in Control before the end of the performance period to which the Performance Goals or other performance criteria relates, performance will be determined as of the date of the Change in Control (or if the metric is not calculable as of that date, the earliest date prior to the Change in Control for which performance is calculable) and the Cash Incentive Award will be settled, if at all, by no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Change in Control occurs.
(c) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and evidenced in an Award Agreement in respect of a Cash Incentive Award, if (i) a Change in Control occurs after the Committee certifies the level of attainment of Performance Goals or other performance criteria under Section 5.3 and before any Cash Incentive Payment in respect of such Cash Incentive Award is paid, and (ii) the Participant is employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the date of the Change in Control, then the Committee will not have any discretion to reduce such Cash Incentive Payment pursuant to Section 5.2 on or after the effective date of the Change in Control.
